Boycott Arizona, NOT the Native American nations

Just a reminder to the folks joining the ever-growing movement in opposition to AZ racist anti-Latino laws: the reservations where Navajo, Hopi, Tohono ‘Odam and other Native American peoples live are sovereign territories, where AZ law DOES NOT apply. If you HAVE to go to AZ, make sure to spend your money ONLY on tribally-owned hotels, restaurants, etc. Not one cent of this will go to the AZ government!
For a list of AZ Native American sovereign nations, see link below:

TRIBES

6.6% of Arizona’s population is of native american indian ancestry. The name “Arizona” is from the Tohono O’odham word Arizonac, later shortened to Al Shon by the spanish. The Tohono O’odham translate this as ‘Place of Little Spring.’ The first Europeans to reach what is now Arizona encountered the Hopi, Papago, and Pima Indians. The Apache did not move into the area until the 16th century.

There are 21 indian tribes in Arizona. Nineteen of these Arizona Indian tribes are federally recognized. Arizona state has the second highest total native american population in the United States. Over 1/4 of the area of the state is reservation land. Nineteen tribes are members of the Inter-Tribal Council of Arizona.

The ancient Arizona peoples, the Pre-Pueblos, commonly known as the Anazasi, settled in the high country. They built 800 room buildings and are known for their basketmaking. The early Hohokam were gatherers, who then evolved into farmers. In farming, they dug the first irrigation canals in Arizona, some of which are still in existence today.
